This book continues the reflection initiated by DARE-DARE members and collaborators with the first part of Dis/location: projet d'articulation urbaine, which led the center to move its offices in 2004 to a temporary shelter in Viger Square until 2006. The book retraces the main milestones that led to the realization of this innovative initiative, showing the variety of artistic practices disseminated and the importance of the questions raised.

For the publication's authors - artists, architects, sociologists and journalists - Viger Square, a key location in the urban geography of Montreal, represents the starting point for a complex reflection on the links between art and public space, in both their material and symbolic dimensions. The intervention of DARE-DARE and the projects of the artists in the program become an exceptional platform where the various theories and methods of analysis of the authors are articulated. In this sense, the book goes beyond the boundaries of Viger Square and the art world, questioning the relationship between art and social life.
